Hello all,
Looks like I have leak of some sort coming from the front of the motor on my truck. its an 06.
Looks like it may be coolant? not sure what it is.
It's coming from the passenger side toward the front of the motor.
I see quite a bit of fluid on the ground and around the front of the oil pan but doesn't look like oil.
I ideas suggestions where to start would be great.
thanks for any help

My apologies sir. I wasn't aware that a 3rd gen required being on a lift to find and identify a leak. With my second gen I am able to bend down and put some of the liquid on my finger to identify it, then fully 50% of the time can find where it is coming from by lifting the hood and looking around using the advanced technology called a flashlight.

There is also a small length of hose that is attached with hose clamps that has a tendancy to come loose. Same exact spot as you are talking about. Check the hose clamps to see if they are loose or just tighten them up and see if the problem goes away. IIRC, this hose is between the turbo and the block. It's been a couple years since I had to tighten mine.
